Summary
The documentation page references the Windows PowerShell New-GUID cmdlet as a method to generate GUIDs, mentioning it before other platform-neutral or Linux/macOS alternatives. No Linux/macOS-specific example or tool is provided for GUID generation, and the PowerShell method is linked directly, which may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • List platform-neutral and cross-platform GUID generation methods first, such as online GUID generators or language-agnostic libraries (e.g., Python's uuid module, Linux 'uuidgen' command).
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples for GUID generation (e.g., 'uuidgen' in bash).
  • Avoid linking only to Windows/PowerShell documentation; include references to equivalent Linux/macOS tools.
  • Clarify that any tool or method capable of generating a GUID is acceptable, and provide a short list of options for different platforms.
